After the devastating earthquake and fire in San Francisco in 1906, young real estate agent Colbert Coldwell saw the need for honest and professional real estate services to help rebuild the city.

With two partners, the real estate company of Tucker, Lynch and Coldwell was formed on August 27, 1906, where work only for customers was a main priority. This led to the beginning of a tradition of integrity and customer support that continues to this day.

In 1913, Benjamin Arthur Banker joined the firm as a salesman. Together with Colbert Coldwell, they quickly discovered they held similar views and ethics. Banker became a partner in 1914, and the two remained active in the company while other partners went into different directions.

Fast forward 80 years and Coldwell Banker now had locations in all 50 states, and had begun international expansion in Canada and Puerto Rico. In 1992, Coldwell Banker affiliates became the first to advocate and practise seller disclosure, helping change the practice of real estate in many markets.

In April 2012, Coldwell Banker Real Estate was named among the top 45 companies for excellence in learning and development by Chief Learning Officer magazine. In March 2013, it was named among the top 10 companies for ongoing excellence in learning and development in the 2013 LearningElite, a renowned American magazine. Ranked No. 10 from a list of 52 companies, Coldwell Banker was the only real estate brand on the list.

The story of Coldwell Banker is a story of leadership and success. From its beginnings in San Francisco in 1906, Coldwell Banker has grown to become one of the premier residential real estate organisations in the world. Coldwell Banker was founded on a commitment to professionalism and customer service that continues to be the core of its business philosophy today. CB provides its sales associates with strong support in the real estate industry.
